Speaking on the electoral register issue, Ralph Cassar, AD Secretary General said that, “there is nothing new about the electoral register manoeuvres. Both PN and PL always sought to manoeuver the electoral register in their favour, and they never arrived to offer a concrete electoral system reform.”
Ralp Cassar also said that, “Malta still does not have a voting system for Maltese living in foreign countries, and in a modern world we still need an efficient voter registration system and we still depend on an archaic system controlled by PN and PL which is issued twice a year. In other countries, eligible voters can register their voting document even on election day. Today, with information technology and with the fact that every Maltese citizen has an identity number this process would be much easier. However, neither PN nor PL were ever interested in strengthening participative democracy in Malta, and only spoke up when the issue was advantageous to them. The Maltese youth have to fight against this tribal system. Moreover, the Electoral Commission chosen by PN and PL is allowing only PN and PL observing the election process.”
